The United in Diversity forum
promotes education and research efforts that promotes the
participation of the business sector with the government
and civil society sectors in advancing Indonesia’s development and progress.
In education, it will focus on
educational effort, workshops and research ?both
domestic and in engagement with International Institution
for generating and channeling ideas and initiatives that

In 2004, we have conducted a few follow up activities to the previous year’s theme

We are also launching a user group for System Dynamics Interest Group ?to build a community of users who would like to learn more about the use of system dynamics in the formation of environment, economics, and social policies.
We will have more programs within our mission, which will be announced as it is launched. These programs will continue to pursue a few themes previously introduced by our Forum, e.g., the multi-stakeholder leadership program, the inclusion of UID theme into mainstream academic program in lower and higher education all over the country, as well as the inclusion of UID themes in various broadcast media to educate the general public about our views.
